    My family and I drove past Whataburger and stumbled upon their soft opening and wow, did they roll out the red carpet! Not only did the staff welcome us with huge smiles, but they surprised us with FREE MEALS for everyone in the car! Which took dinner off my hands on a MONDAY can you believe?!!! The team was incredibly friendly, proactively explaining their app deals (hello, future freebies!) and making sure we felt valued. Now, the food... absolutely 10/10! Whataburger: Juicy, perfectly char-grilled, seasoned just right. Chicken Sandwich: Crispy outside, tender inside no skimping on flavor! Everything tasted fresh, cooked to perfection, and served with genuine warmth. This wasn't just a meal; it was an experience that turned a random drive into a highlight of our week. Whataburger nailed their first impression. we'll absolutely be back!

    Give it a few weeks before you go here unless you pick at good time. Kinda challenging to get a parking spot. Kiosk doesn't work properly. Being a new fast food establishment I usually don't go unless it's firing on all cylinders. Got the triple cheeseburger pretty average. Three and a half stars wait time was 15 minutes or more today. Nice staff here.

    I'm not the kind of person to leave reviews but after being here a couple times and with how inconsistent it's been, i feel like i have to share. As someone from Texas, I very much grew up enjoying whataburger, and even worked at one for 2 years so I was really excited when I saw they were opening up one here in Columbia! The first two times I came, food and service was amazing! After that, there's just been so much inconsistency. I've waited over 45 minutes for a single meal, i've had my order rung up wrong at least twice now, i've had food missing or not charged correctly and today was just the last straw. I use my whataburger app a lot and they had a promo for a free chicken entree with a purchase of fries/drink. I ordered my meal and ordered everything separate so it would make applying the coupon easy at the register. I get to the window, they weren't able to apply the coupon i'm not sure what happened there but it looks like the manager on shift just gave me my sandwich promo, but then i look at the receipt and i was charged for some chicken strips additionally? Again, didn't make it a big deal, I ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes for my meal and they forgot my chicken strips. I paid for them, might as well get them right? I wait another 10 minutes, and finally get all my food. As i began to eat my meal, i have a couple undercooked fries in my bag/fry box, they aren't really that warm anymore, and just overall food wasn't the best. This sucks because i've given this place multiple tries, i love whataburger i love the food but this place makes it hard :( Im not sure i can come back for a while

    Went to try it. Messed up my order horribly. Not a great first impression. Probably won't be back.

This place has me excited when it comes to the "Dave's Not Chicken" menu. I ordered Cauli Dave's #3, which is 1 Cauli Tender & 1 Cauli Slider W/ Fries. This is so delicious! Everything has that perfect crispy and a taste that melts in your mouth. The sauce and honey make it just that much better. An amazing combination. My husband ordered the Saucy Bites W/Fries. He stated the meal was crispy and fulfilling. We also ordered the Small Cauliflower Top Loaded Fries. This was another hit for me! It comes with a cheese sauce, pickles and kale slaw topped with cauli bites and a drizzle of Dave's sauce. It tastes so good! If you have never eaten here or tried the cauli menu, please try it. I highly recommend it. As always great service and clean restaurant.

Checking out was a bit akward as the cashier seemed a bit annoyed we stayed. I ordered the two piece tender meal and a side of mac and cheese. I ordered the tenders to be of a medium spice but was definitely given a spicier one as I could not finish my second tender... The mac and cheese was really good. The inside was clean and it ended up being a 15 minute wait, not 45. The chicken to breading ratio was great as it wasn't too breaded.

    Was visiting the area and came across Midwood Smokehouse when looking for a BBQ spot. The menu…read morelooked great and the photos online highlighting the food and the establishment looked promising; still rustic but with a modern twist. The table enjoyed the Miguel's Queso. I'm pretty sure the kids licked the bowl clean. Kids Chicken Nuggets - 6 crispy nuggets with a side of choice. Thick breading but good portion and taste. Crinkle fries were a bit hit for this little one. Enjoyed the fries with ranch. Lone Star Brisket Sandwich - Smoked brisket, house-made pickles, and slaw. Brisket looked delicious but was a bit dry and lacked seasoning. The pickles, slaw, and BBQ sauce delivered the moisture and flavor. Smoked Half Chicken - Smaller chicken quarter but tender and moist. Still lacking flavor counting on the BBQ sauce. Had the mac-and-cheese and fries as a side. Mac was cheesy but again dry. Saint Louis Pork Ribs - Good portion but again on the flavor - heavily reliant on the sauce. Sweet tea was perfect and the pickles were delicious! Service wasn't the best; refills were hard to get. I think next time we will avoid a chain and find a hole-in-the-wall establishment.

I am not a vegetarian but even I was impressed by their sandwiches, and their seitan tenders are quite tasty! Service is good. Building has a somewhat awkward setup but that's ok.

    The Hoot has turned into one of my go-to Columbia spots!…read more I've been about four times now (last visit was takeout only) and the food was always good, but so is the vibe. As one of the only vegan dedicated places in Columbia, it's such a boon. My first visit I just needed some time to myself. It was about 4pm'ish, I barely ate all day, and I just wanted to absorb this book. I got a nice corner seat at the bar, ordered a delicious amber beer and the cheesy fries, and had a nice hour + just chilling. My barkeep could tell not to bother me, but didn't ignore me...it was perfect. My second visit was slightly later in the day and the place was busier, but you could still find a little spot to yourself if needed. Had the special for the day - the Chik'n Caesar Wrap and the tots - a great comfort meal, and a hard cider. I'm at or near Rosewood pretty often at different times of day, so I'm glad The Hoot is a viable option. My only gripe is that it's a bit difficult to find. I wish they had better signage on Rosewood, and below, that the entrance is in the parking lot below/behind the block. I parked down there and didn't even see it!
